Author Biography

Felicity has worked for Usborne for over 30 years and has written and edited hundreds of titles, from books on tractors to genetics, from Shakespeare to mental health, and plenty of sparkly unicorns. Felicity is an expert in making tricky topics friendly and accessible to young children and recently has been writing books that celebrate feelings, friendship, empathy, families, and diversity. When she's not writing or researching very specific details on dinosaurs, Felicity can be found tramping through fields and forests foraging for food or just curled up with a bag of Twiglets, a couple of cats and a crossword. As a child, Rosalinde could not decide whether she wanted to be a wildlife biologist, a writer or an illustrator. But, because she spent most of her time doodling (even all over her notebooks during class!) or creating plays and sets for her puppets, she finally decided to study art after high school. She joined the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Since her graduation, Rosalinde has written and/or illustrated numerous books. When she isn't working or reading in her studio, she likes hiking, observing nature, taking photos, and making vegan pastries. You can visit her at www.rosalindebonnet.com.
